=== April 2021: Matomo.js ===

[[File:Matomo-analytics-dashboard.png|thumb|What (((Soot))) could see while using Matomo.]]

Soot figured that maybe people would react less negatively to datamining software if it was ''open-source'', instead of some proprietary tracking system by a giant corporation.

Soot thus included the open-source datamining software [[Matomo]] on his site. The schizos took notice, and started filling the boards with [[CIA]] soyjaks, exposing Soot's datamining scheme.

Soot, caught red-handed, was issued a standard apology by CIA's PR shills, which he published on April 19, 2021. It read:

<blockquote>
''apologies for any concern it may have caused, i was just trying to get some general time zone and user agent information, but i understand why everyone was concerned, since the software can collect way more. as i have said before, none of the information that i collected has ever been shared with a third party, and any data that i collected with matomo has already been deleted. hope this clears things up.''<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210514210357/https://soyjak.party/#12</ref>
</blockquote>

However, '''in complete contradiction''' of his reassuring words, a file named ''analytics.js'' was present on the server as early as April 13, until May 16.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://soyjak.party/js/analytics.js</ref> In fairness, it may have been accidentally left over after Soot removed the analytics.
